Whole World's Got the Blues

Blues all in the papers
Blues in the magazines
Blues on the radio
Blues on the TV screen
Everywhere you turn
You're looking at sad, sad news
Seems like the whole world, yes sir
The whole world's got the blues

Blues in the morning
Blues all through the night
I went to see my doctor
She said, "Everything's alright"
Still I can't shake the feeling
Can you feel it too?
Seems like the whole world
Whole world's got the blues

Went to church on Sunday
To lay my burden down
Not a single soul was smiling
Everybody walked 'round
When the preacher said, "It's hard times"
He got an "Amen" from every pew
Seems like the whole world
Whole world's got the blues

Blues south of the border
Blues in the Middle East
Blues running up the alley
Creeping up Wall Street
People, what's going on?
Can you feel it too?
Pray we're gonna make it
'Cause the whole world's got the blues

It's rolling 'round the midnight
And I can't get to sleep
If there's hope for the future
Gon' take a quantum leap
Can't shake that feeling
People, do you feel it too?
Seems like the whole world
Whole world's got the blues

Seems like the whole world
Whole world's got the blues

Got the blues
